Jozye 2
1 Epi Josué, fis a Nun nan, te voye de mesye kòm espyon an sekrè soti Sittim. Li te di: “Ale gade peyi a, sitou Jéricho.” Epi yo te ale e te antre lakay a yon pwostitiye ki te rele Rahab. Yo te dòmi la.
Therfor Josue, the sone of Nun, sente fro Sethym twei men, aspieris in hiddlis, and seide to hem, Go ye, and biholde ye the lond, and the citee of Jerico. Whiche yeden, and entriden into the hous of a womman hoore, `Raab bi name, and restiden at hir.
2 Sa te pale a wa Jéricho a. Yo te di: “Gade byen, de mesye ki sòti nan fis Israël yo te vini isit la lannwit lan pou fè espyon nan peyi a.”
And it was teld, `and seid to the kyng of Jerico, Lo! men of the sones of Israel entriden hidir bi nyyt, to aspie the lond.
3 Epi wa Jéricho a te voye vè Rahab e te di: “Mete deyò mesye ki te vin kote ou yo, paske yo te vin fè espyon nan peyi a.”
Therfor the kyng of Jerico sente to Raab the hoore, and seide, Brynge out the men, that camen to thee, and entriden in to thin hous; for thei ben aspieris, and thei camen to biholde al the lond.
4 Men fanm nan ki te deja pran mesye yo pou kache yo, te di: “Wi, mesye sa yo te vini kote mwen, men mwen pa t konnen kote yo te sòti.
And the womman took the men, and hidde hem, and seide, Y knowleche, thei camen to me, but Y wiste not of whenus thei weren;
5 Li te vin rive nan lè pou fèmen pòtay yo lè l te fènwa, ke mesye yo sòti deyò. Men mwen pa konnen kote mesye yo te ale. Kouri dèyè yo byen vit! Konsa, ou ka gen tan pran yo.”
and whanne the yate was closid in derknessis, and thei yeden out to gidire, Y noot whidur thei yeden; pursue ye soone, and ye schulen take hem.
6 Men li te vrèman mennen yo anwo galri twati kay la, pou l te kache yo nan pakèt len ke li te mete an lòd sou twati kay la.
Forsothe sche made the men to stie in to the soler of hir hows, and hilide hem with stobil of flex, that was there.
7 Konsa, mesye yo te kouri dèyè yo sou wout la pou rive nan lye pou travèse Jourdain an. Depi sila ki t ap pouswiv yo te pati, yo te fèmen pòtay la.
Sotheli thei, that weren sent, sueden hem bi the weie that ledith to the fordis of Jordan; and whanne thei weren goon out, anoon the yate was closid.
8 Alò, avan yo te kouche, fi a te vin kote yo sou twati a.
Thei that weren hid, slepten not yit, and lo! the womman stiede to hem, and seide,
9 Epi li te di mesye yo: “Mwen konnen ke SENYÈ a te bannou peyi a, e ke gwo laperèz nou gen tan tonbe sou nou. Tout kouraj abitan peyi a vin fonn e disparèt devan nou.
Y knowe that the Lord hath bitake to you this lond; for youre feerdfulnesse felde in to vs, and alle the dwelleris of the lond `weren sike.
10 Paske nou te tande jan SENYÈ a te fin seche dlo Lamè Wouj devan nou lè nou te sòti an Égypte la, ak sa nou te fè de wa Amoreyen ki te lòtbò Jourdain yo, a Sihon ak Og, ke nou te detwi nèt.
We herden, that the Lord driede the watris of the Reed See at youre entryng, whanne ye yeden out of Egipt; and what thingis ye diden to twei kyngis of Ammorreis, that weren biyende Jordan, to Seon and Og, whiche ye killiden;
11 Lè nou vin tande sa, kè nou te fonn. Pa t gen kouraj ki te rete nan okenn moun ankò akoz nou menm, paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, se Li ki Bondye anwo nan syèl la e anba sou tè a.
and we herden these thingis, and we dredden, and oure herte `was sike, and spirit dwellide not in vs at youre entryng; for youre Lord God hym silf is God in heuene aboue, and in erthe bynethe.
12 “Alò, pou sa, souple, sèmante a mwen pa SENYÈ a, paske mwen te aji avèk bon kè anvè nou; ke nou, osi, nou va aji avèk bon kè anvè lakay papa m. Fè mwen yon sèman fidèl,
Now therfor swere ye to me bi the Lord God, that as Y dide merci with you, so and ye do with the hows of my fadir; and yyue ye to me a veri signe,
13 pou konsève lavi papa m avèk manman m, frè m avèk sè m yo avèk tout moun ki pou yo, e livre lavi nou sòti nan lanmò.”
that ye saue my fadir and modir, and my britheren and sistris, and alle thingis that ben herne, and dilyuere oure lyues fro deeth.
14 Konsa, mesye yo te di l: “Vi pa nou pou vi pa w si ou pa pale zafè nou; epi li va rive ke lè SENYÈ a bannou peyi a, ke nou va aji avèk bon kè, e fidèlman avèk ou.”
Whiche answeriden to hir, Oure lijf be for you in to deeth, if netheles thou bitraiest not vs; and whanne the Lord hath bitake to vs the lond, we schulen do mercy and treuthe in thee.
15 Konsa, li te fè yo desann nan fenèt la pa yon kòd; paske lakay li a se te sou miray lavil la, kòmsi li t ap viv sou miray la.
Therfor sche let hem doun fro the wyndow bi a corde; for hir hows cleuyde to the wal.
16 Li te di yo: “Ale nan peyi kolin yo, pou sila k ap kouri dèyè nou yo pa twouve nou. Kache kò nou la pandan twa jou jiskaske sila k ap kouri dèyè nou yo retounen. Epi apre, nou kapab fè wout nou.”
And sche seide to hem, Stie ye to the hilli places, lest perauenture men turnynge ayen meete you; and be ye hidde there three daies, til thei comen ayen; and so ye schulen go bi youre weie.
17 Mesye yo te di li: “Nou p ap responsab sèman ke ou te fè nou fè a,
Whiche seiden to hir, We schulen be giltles of this ooth, bi which thou hast chargid vs,
18 amwenske lè nou antre nan peyi a, ou mare kòd fisèl wouj sa a nan fenèt kote ou te fè nou desann nan. Epi rasanble ou menm nan kay la avèk papa ou ak manman ou, frè ou yo ak tout manm lakay papa ou yo.
if, whanne we entren in to the lond, this reed corde is not a signe, and thou byndist it not in the wyndow, bi which thou lettist vs doun; and thou gaderist not in to thi hows thi fadir and modir, and britheren, and al thi kynrede; the blood of hym schal be on his heed,
19 Li va rive ke nenpòt moun ki ale deyò pòt lakay ou pou antre nan lari a, san li va sou pwòp tèt li e nou va lib de sèman an. Men nenpòt moun ki avèk ou nan kay la, san pa li va sou tèt nou si yon moun men mete sou li.
that goith out at the dore of thin hows, and we schulen be alien, that is, giltles; forsothe the blood of alle men that ben in the hows with thee, schal turne in to oure heed, if ony man touchith hem.
20 Men si ou pale zafè sa a; alò, nou va vin lib de sèman ke ou te fè nou fè a.”
`That if thou wolt betraie vs, and brynge forth in to the myddis this word, we schulen be cleene of this ooth, bi which thou hast chargid vs.
21 Li te di: “Selon pawòl nou, ke sa vin fèt konsa.” Epi li te voye yo ale. Yo te pati, epi li te mare kòd wouj la nan fenèt la.
And sche answeride, As ye han spoke, so be it doon. And sche lefte hem, that thei schulden go, and sche hangide a reed corde in her wyndow.
22 Yo te pati pou te rive nan peyi kolin yo, e te rete la pandan twa jou jiskaske sila ki t ap pouswiv yo te retounen. Alò, moun ki t ap swiv yo te chache toupatou akote chemen an, men yo pa t twouve yo.
Sotheli thei yeden, and camen to the hilli places, and dwelliden there three daies, til thei turneden ayen that pursueden; for thei souyten bi ech weie, and founden not hem.
23 Konsa, de mesye sa yo te desann peyi kolin yo pou te travèse rive kote Josué, fis a Nun nan. Yo te pale li tout sa ki te rive yo.
And whanne the sekeris entriden in to the citee, the spieris turneden ayen, and camen doun fro the hille; and whanne thei hadde passid Jordan, thei camen to Josue, the sone of Nun;
24 Yo te di Josué: “Anverite, SENYÈ a te bannou tout peyi a nan men nou. Anplis, kè tout abitan peyi a tap fonn e disparèt devan nou.”
and thei telden to hym alle thingis that bifelden to hem, and seiden, The Lord hath bitake al the lond in to oure hondis, and alle the dwelleris thereof ben casten doun bi drede.
